I love the name Noah for DS3 due in summer, but worry about it's popularity. I've been reading the thread about popular names with interest. I would normally avoid such a popular name.

How many little Noahs do you know? Will it date badly? Should I even care?

Why is naming a baby such hard work?!

Noah is a lovely name

SpeedyBojangles · 16/05/2019 22:58

I know 3

6, 2 and 6 months.

I think it is a very popular name but if you like it then use it!

I know one - he is 3 and a lovely little boy and it really suits him. Great name.

MarieToulouseBerlioz · 16/05/2019 22:48

I think it's a really nice name.

I have a family member called Noah but hes 11/12. The only other Noah I know of is 3.

There’s really no point asking people how many Noah’s they know. Noah is a popular name, fact. Some people may just have encountered more Noah’s than others. Some people may have encountered less Noah’s than others. You may find Noah to be very popular or not. It is a popular name but if u like it go for it.

The only one I know is 13 and so lovely. It's a good strong name.

Love Noah. Not as popular as I thought it would be, only met one or two.

I don't like Noah and feel it will probably start to fall out of fashion and sound dated soon.

Haworthia · 16/05/2019 22:44

I like it. I’ve never met one, either.

11 years ago I named my son, to find out that at nursery and school there were loads and it's now in the top 30 list. Even worse is my dp's ex ( who doesn't like me) has just named her new baby said sons name.
But my ds has the perfect name for him and as popular as it gets it suits him to a T.
Other ds's name has started floating about on mn too, and I named him it 14 years ago.

Go with it if you love it.

I don’t know any little Noah’s, I don’t think popularity matters if you love the name. It’s a gorgeous name
